He first appeared in 1933 in a radio show conceived either by WXYZ (Detroit) radio station owner George W. Trendle, or by Fran Striker, the show's writer. The character was originally believed to be inspired by Texas Ranger Captain John R. Hughes, to whom the book The Lone Star Ranger by Zane Grey was dedicated in 1915. The radio series proved to be a hit and spawned a series of books (largely written by Striker), an equally popular television show that ran from 1949 to 1957, comic books, and several movies. The title character was played on the radio show by George Seaton, Earle Graser, and Brace Beemer.Clayton Moore acted the Lone Ranger on television, although during a contract dispute, Moore was replaced temporarily by John Hart, who wore a different style of mask. On the radio, Tonto was played by, among others, John Todd and Roland Parker; and in the television series, by Jay Silverheels, who was a Mohawk from the Six Nations Indian Reserve in Ontario, Canada.

John Hart replaced Moore in the title role from 1952 to 1954, due to a contract dispute. The live-action series initially featured Gerald Mohr as the narrator. Fred Foy was both narrator and announcer of the radio series from 1948 until its ending, and then became announcer of the television version, for which narration of the story was dropped. The Lone Ranger was the highest-rated television program on ABC in the early 1950s and its first true "hit". The series finished #7 in the Nielsen ratings for the 1950-1951 season, #18 for 1951-1952 and #29 for 1952-1953.

Series premise

The fictional story line maintains that all of a patrol of six Texas Rangers are massacred, except for one. The "lone" survivor thereafter disguises himself with a black mask and travels with Tonto throughout Texas and the American West to assist those challenged by the lawless elements. A silver mine supplies The Lone Ranger with the name of his horse as well as the funds and bullets required to finance his wandering life-style. Glenn Strange, a native of Otero County, New Mexico, was cast in eight episodes as the evil Butch Cavendish, at least a decade before he was cast as Sam Noonan, the bartender on Gunsmoke.

DC editors wanted to make changes to the character of Superman, including making him the sole survivor of his home planet Krypton, and Byrne's story was written to show these changes and to present Superman's origin. The series includes the embryonic Kal-El rocketing away from the destruction of Krypton and his birth upon landing in Kansas when he emerged from the artificial womb, Clark Kent as a teenager in Smallville learning that he was found in a crashed space ship, his being hired at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, the creation of his secret identity of Superman, his first meeting with fellow hero Batman, and how he finally learned of his birth parents and from where he came. The series also included the reintroduction of a number of supporting characters, including fellow reporter and love interest Lois Lane and archenemyLex Luthor, who was re-branded from a mad scientist to a powerful businessman.

Man of Steel (sculpture)

The Yorkshire Man of Steel will be a 30 metre high sculpture and visitor centre located in Rotherham (J34,M1), forming a landmark gateway to Yorkshire and the Sheffield City Region. The inspiration for the Yorkshire Man of Steel sculpture came from local sculptor Steve Mehdi’s own experiences in the steel industry and the region’s rich industrial history across the steel and coal industries. The sculpture was originally intended as a memory to generations of people who worked in numerous factories and coal mines, unsung individuals who forged the region's reputation of steel and coal in the process. It will also signpost the advances in the new technology sector and specialised steel manufacturing which has led to a transformation in the region in the 21st Century.

The vision for this landmark project followed the demise of the Tinsley Cooling Towers in the East end of Sheffield, in 2008. Public comment on his work suggested the ‘Man of Steel’ might become a fitting replacement for the much loved Tinsley Towers.
